George Lindsey was born in Fairfield, Alabama to George Ross Lindsey (a butcher) and wife, Alice Smith. He was raised by his grandparents in the small town of Jasper, where he graduated from Walker County High School in 1946. He attended Kemper Military School in Boonville, Missouri, and Florence State Teacher's College (Florence, Alabama) (now the University of North Alabama), where he majored in physical education and biology. He was a quarterback on the football team, and acted in college plays. He received a Bachelor of Science in 1952.
In 1964, Lindsey was cast as the slow-witted but kindly "Goober Beasley" on The Andy Griffith Show. His character was later renamed "Goober Pyle" to tie him to his cousin Gomer Pyle, slow-witted country boy played by Jim Nabors, also from Alabama. Goober's antics frequently included his exaggerated "Goober Dance" and his comically bad Cary Grant impression.
During an interview segment of TV Land's 40th Anniversary Star Trek Marathon on November 12, 2006 Leonard Nimoy stated that Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Spock was George Lindsey. Because of the flippant way Nimoy makes the comment it has been suggested that he was joking. The claim Lindsey was offered the role is given more credibility when Lindsey's close friend Ernest Borgnine wrote in his autobiography, "my hand to God - he turned down the part of Mr. Spock on TV's Star Trek, the role that made Leonard Nimoy famous.
Lindsey portrayed "Goober" for the third and last time on the syndicated country music variety show Hee Haw, playing a more rustic version of the character. He appeared on that show from 1972 to 1992.
Lindsey died on May 6, 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee from heart failure. He was 83

I had the honor of spending a bit of time with George back in the early 90s. I worked for a Entertainment Production company that hired him for a show and I managed the production. I can say that he was as nice a person and as down to earth as you might think from seeing him on TV. That day chatting with him for a few hours, hearing in person the stories of Goober and his days in Hollywood I will always remember. RIP George, we miss ya!

[@madalynmcgoun8066]

I loved watching George as Goober on The Andy Griffith Show. We sure could use his humor right now. R.I.P. George. And, yes, you made us laugh!

[@martynewell1181]

[@sallykohorst8803]

Yes really enjoyed him on andy Griffith. He wont be forgotten and what a life he had. He and don knotts were so funny together.

[@chequitataylor6522]

Thanks for the share!!! True fact my great grandmother and George’s mom was in the same hospital room at peoples hospital. My dad had the honor of meeting George

[@justinsanders2705]

We all need a little more Mayberry right now. God bless.

[@janiceaviles2226]

Thanks For Sharing 🙂✌️ I Really Enjoyed His Character On The Andy Griffith Show 😁😀👍✌️

[@luannputman9102]

Loved the Andy Griffith show, and Hee Haw, thank you so much for sharing this.

[@ldchappell1]

I didn't even know George Lindsey had passed away. I just watched one of my favorite episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" the other day. The one where Goober assembles the car in the Sheriff's office. You didn't have to stretch your imagination too much to imagine Gomer and Goober as cousins. 😂👍

[@danbasta3677]

He also was on MASH to in one episode. Hard to imangine this silly, goofy country bumpkin was actually selected, considered as Mr. Spock on the Original Star Trek series, by series creator, Gene Roddenberry. Wouldn't have never fit. He's to goofy to potray that part.

[@donnawillis6625]

He was so funny and sincere that you thought he was just being himself.

[@pickford3152]

One of my all time favourite shows! This and leave it to beaver, and Dennis the menace the original 60s tv show..can’t beat goober n Barney fife tho..RIP Goob👍❤️ thx for all the laughs and genuine warmth i feel every time I watch Andy Griffith❤️ u were awesome

I miss you gorege lindsley Rest In Peace 🌺

[@Keeshablu]

Thank you for doing these videos appreciate it so much.

[@gpc178sm]

Tonight is my first video, job well done sir!

[@ericlomax1793]

Talluah Bankhead was known to have a wild reputation in Hollywood, even in London where she was over for some acting roles, she was known to answer the door to where she lived in the Nude and certainly would be a sight and make you glad you visited her flat in London too. Talluah was of course very angry when Vivian Leigh got the role of Scarlet O’Hara for “Gone with the Wind”, as she was a real southern woman who should have easily gotten the role in that movie. The last role she did was that of villainess “Black Widow” in the Batman TV show in the mid to late 60’s that had Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.

[@jackieholona5331]

I loved him so much....good job

[@BackRoads1]

More interesting people buried in Jasper than most know about. Y'all need to visit the Bankhead House while there. Tallulah dads funeral was held at the methodist church downtown on the square.

[@frankiefernandez2734]

No, thank you, you are the best. 👋God bless your way.🙏

[@tracyguyton6208]

You should visit Maxwell Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery in Haleyville Al. Pat Butrum is buried there. He was in the show Green Acres.

[@BackRoads1]

Check out our older videos. I have already visited Mr Buttram. Beautiful little cemetery and a beautiful community.

[@michele2855]

Loves this man funny as hell

[@donanderson9738]

Could you show Davey Allison's grave again

[@BackRoads1]

Working on redoing that and going to see Neal bonnet also

[@chappy675]

I think it’s cute that you call a grave marker/headstone a “head piece”. 😂

[@BackRoads1]

I try to keep it simple. It’s where the head is so it’s the head piece lol. The bottom is called the foot piece lol

[@rosemaryreeves202]

Enjoy your show. How about pat buttram? Burried in winston county alabama off hwy 243. So they say. However Google has him burried some place else. He played Mr. Haney on Green Acres. Little known fact is that he voiced characters in some of Disney's best animated movies. I believe he is burried at the camp Maxwell cemetery.

[@BackRoads1]

[@Steve_from_318]

I saw george lindsey in Nashville around the mid 80s..Mom wanted a pic with him..he didn't want to but did anyway.

[@seahunt6055]

That's what makes me angry when stars act like they're too big to have their picture taken with regular people. They forget where they come.

[@donnavaughn5393]

Thanks you see you soon

I LOVE WATCHING TV SHOWS HEE HAW

[@SteveChavez-909]

Do you have sunglasses?

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

Are those vents in the sides??

[@BackRoads1]

I noticed that as well when i was filming. I figured it was for ventilation. Keep the smell down maybe?

[@anitaheaton-sherling804]

My parents r buried in that cemetery

[@bertsmith6778]

He was my least favorite on Andy. Hey s characters on Gunsmoke completely turned me off.

[@jeanetteeplin1413]

What is it with you people? Why do you have to show the graves of all of these people? Why seek ye the living among the dead?

[@lanasachie8505]

Because some of these people were nicer than some living!

[@rbustamante15]

You're at a CEMETERY not a Grave Yard. Learn the difference bumpkin.

[@lanasachie8505]

You are just splitting pubic hair. One is just an older term referring to a smaller plot of land mainly private. The cemetery is a later term because it’s larger, more public. Big deal
